Downtime blues

Well, the disk swap did not go nearly as well as I had hoped. The copying got to 109 of 121 GB at about 4am and then the kernel oops’ed. So I had to reboot and start over again. Finally at 5am when the machine oops’ed again I powered it off and went to bed.

Once I woke up at 1:30pm, I powered her back on and finished copying the 13 or so GB that was left. Tonight from midnight (00:00 EDT) to approximatly 2am (02:00 EST) I will be swapping around the physical disk arrangments and re-installing the machine in the rack.

I have high hopes that the problems are behind me and tonight should go smoothly.

see Server Info to see the difference this has made.

Thanks for everyone’s patience.
